1987 Philippe Jean Mairet Classical Acoustic Guitar with Hiscox Case

Pre-owned in good condition, although this guitar has been used extensively it remains structurally perfect with just a few cosmetic marks. Please see the full description.

Now 32 years old, the guitar has signs of use from its many years as a performance guitar. There are no structural issues, just light wear to the back and sides where the guitar rests on the players leg and a couple of small dents to the neck (see pictures). There are also a couple of small wear patches to the back and some light scuffs and scratches to the top. None of this affects how the guitar plays but the wood has aged beautifully and this guitar has a superb tone through the register with rich bass and clear treble.
